Zelenskyy Says Ukraine Got No Warning Before Russian Missile Strikes on Power Grid

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine received no advance warning of a Russian ballistic missile attack on its power infrastructure, including Kyiv power plants. The attack came in several waves from Sunday evening into the night. Writing on X, he said there was once again no early warning from Ukraine's partners, and described the strike as another on the power grid. He also accused Washington of denying reality. The dispute comes amid a continuing row with President Trump over his apparent support for Moscow. A Ukrainian spokesperson, Yuri Ihnat, is cited in the reporting. No U.S. response appears in the available reports.

Left-leaning outlets had covered the story, as had right-leaning outlets, but alternative / independent outlets had not reported it at the time of writing. The left-leaning Guardian US names the United States and places the claim within the Trump row, raising concerns that intelligence is being withheld to pressure Kyiv. The right-leaning New York Post leads with Zelensky's X post, refers to "partners" generally, and stresses the repeated waves and the renewed hit on the grid. Both report the core claim of no warning.
